Checked out the Tavistock Lagoons, post-rain, to see if anything dropped in. Conditions continue to be excellent but numbers / variety were a bit lower. New were a juv. Wilson's Phalarope and 5 Stilt Sandpiper. Semipalmated Sandpiper [20], Greater Yellowlegs [7] numbers were up and Least Sandpiper [10] and Lesser Yellowlegs [45] were down a bit. Odds and ends were 3 American Golden Plover, 3 Pectorals, 5 Semipalmated Plover and one juv. Dunlin.
Cheers, Tavistock Lagoons can be found by taking Hwy 59 to Tavistock, turn right at the 1st light and park at the back of the park. The lagoons are visible to the east but be advised they are all posted and the town has made no attempt to make these lagoons birder accessible. Stick to the edge, outside the fence. The drained lagoon is farthest east.
